In this week’s episode we are excited to announce and introduce our brand new co-hosts Montana Bannister and Hanna Otway. 

If you have prepped before, no doubt you have received some unsolicited or “you can’t say that!” comments/questions which can easily be deemed as offensive. We have an open conversation around experiences we have had in previous preps, and how we have all learnt over time to understand that these commonly come from curiosity or misunderstanding.
